Product Review Aecometric Corp. supplies the ethanol industry with custom-designed combustion systems for distillers grain dryers and thermal oxidizers. The company has installed more than 250 units in ethanol plants since 2004. “Aecometric’s success in the marketplace comes from our technology and how we manage our projects,” said Sales Manager Mike Fenton. “We work with the client to understand the precise operation of the process equipment and then custom design a combustion system ideally suited to this application,” Fenton explained. He said that by following this approach, Aecometric designs a system that is easy to use, has minimum maintenance requirements, significantly lowers fuel use—typically 5-10% and up to 40% in some applications. “It also lowers the total installed capital cost,” Fenton added.
